We found a house on 10 Acres, yippie!

Hi everyone! Well, we are officially under contract, and due to close June 15th! We can’t wait to be in Virginia…home, sweet home!
So this is the house we fell in love with.
This is our first resale home we’ve ever bought. We usually buy new to ensure things are under warranty and turn key, so this is new for us. 
 It’s an all brick house, 3 levels, completely finished. 
 The house is surrounded by plenty of trees on rolling hills.
 It has a maintenance free deck. 
The grounds are beautiful. 
It even has a climate controlled wine cellar, and I barely drink, y’all! 
Come on in…
I wonder if the wine comes with the house, lol! Probably not! 
It was 56 degrees when we walked in.
This house has lots of heavy trim work, which we love and have always wanted.
Check out the huge Palladian windows in the living room.
The staircase splits the master bedroom from the rest of the rooms.
Here is the mudroom. I don’t even know what to do with this space, but I’m sure once I’m in, the ideas will start coming.
Here is the staircase.
The family room is a step down and the whole main level is all hardwood flooring.
Here is the office.
This house needs some minor updating, which will lead to some fun projects.
So there you have it, our house to be. More pictures to come…
***Maybe I’ll call my blog…the Colonial Home! 🙂

On a sad note, I lost my father two weeks ago, today. If you all wouldn’t mind keeping my family in prayer, I would really appreciate it. We will have the funeral in 2-3 weeks, and then our move, it’s a lot to handle all at once, sniff!

Thanks for visiting! xo, Liz

  44. Liz, I'm just checking in to see how you're doing.

Our God is a comforting God of Peace and He will wrap His arms around you and comfort you.I can't wait to see how you decorate your new home, but I'll continue to wait patiently while you heal and take time to let things settle.

  52. OMGosh, Liz, you do have a lot on your plate. We've been in Europe, so I just got this post. So sorry for your loss and will keep praying for you and your family as you deal with this tragedy and continue to move forward. On a happier note, the new house is gorgeous and cannot wait to see how you put the "Liz Touch" on every room! Good luck with your move & selling your existing Seattle home. Cannot blame you a bit for being anxious to move from the Great Northwest & all its soggy, cloudy days — and the horrible traffic!
